DescriptionApplications in the Oil & Gas Industry

range from seals and components

involved in exploration and drilling to

high-pressure / high-temperature

sealing components in down-hole

wells. Extreme temperatures and

pressures place great demands on ela-

stomers for this industry.

In addition, many chemicals either

experienced in the reservoir, or used in

the drilling, completion or intervention

process can degrade many common

elastomers.

SolutionsRegulating agencies for this industry

are primarily the American Petroleum

Institute (AP) Series 6 - Valves and

Wellhead Equipment.

DescriptionOne of the largest applications for

specialty elastomers and plastics is in

Food Processing and Beverage

Equipment.

These seals are required to resist the

chemical and thermal environments

present in the equipment, while not

releasing any unwanted or unknown

contaminants into the process.

Many applications require the sealing

materials to be capable of being

cleaned and receiving effective bacte-

ricidal treatment while still maintaining

physical properties.

for applications in the Food and

Beverage industry include the Code of

Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 21,

Chapter 1, Subchapter B, part 177,

Subpart C, Paragraph 2600 - also

known as FDA 177.2600.

Seperate categories for expected food

contact include I -foods, including edi-

and II - water, soft drinks, alcoholic

beverages, etc.

DescriptionElastomers and plastics used in

potable water treatment facilities as

well as distribution and dispensing

eauipment may be subject to many

demands.

Chlorine has long been used in a disin-

fectant in water systems, but they can

react and form toxic disinfectant by-

products (DBP). Ammonia is often

added to reduce the DBP - which react

to form chloramines which can be

damaging to some elastomers.
